Pictures from the Country Calendar - 1999 (Calendar, illustrated edition)

One of America's foremost photographers of rural life, Richard Brown has spent much of his life striving to capture the beauty of the natural world with his camera. Brown's search for the unspoiled landscape has taken him all over the world, where he is always looking for "echoes of home, for other rural places where a similar life is being lived, but with a different accent, a different flavor". In "Pictures From The Country 1999", Brown combines scenes of rural harmony from his own backyard with those from the larger world as well -- a breathtaking sunrise on Georgia's Cumberland Island, Thomas Jefferson's flowering woods at Monticello and the pastoral splendors of Yorkshire.
